NB that is set to obtain an IP address
automatically. The ASUS Wireless
Router supports up to 254 IP
addresses for your local network.
Enable the DHCP Server?

Static Route
A route is a possible path from a
given host to another host or
destination. If you append one or
more routers behind the ASUS
Wireless Router to share the same
connection to Internet, you need to
insert predefined rules of route,
called static route, into the ASUS
Wireless Router. Then the ASUS
Wireless Router could know which
router the packets from Internet with different destination IP address can
deliver to.
Apply to routing table?
– Selecting “Yes” applies all those rules in Static
Route List into routing table.
Static Route List
Network/Host IP
–It stands for the destination IP address of network or
host. So it could be an IP address, such as 192.168.1.1 or a range of IP
address, such as 192.168.0.0 or 192.0.0.0. If a packet with destination IP
address that match to this field or within the range of this field, it will route
to the device set in Gateway field.
Netmask
It stands for the netmask of an added network route.
Gateway -
This field stands for the IP address of gateway where packets
are routed. The specified gateway must be reachable first. It means you
have to set up a static route to the gateway beforehand.
Metric -
Metric is a value of distance for the network and used to decide
the priority of route rules.
Interface -
This field decide which network interface this routing rule is
applied to.
